Summary:
Replace any extant metadata uses of a dying instruction with undef to
preserve debug info accuracy. Some alternatives include:
- Treat Instruction like any other Value, and point its extant metadata
uses to an empty ValueAsMetadata node. This makes extant dbg.value uses
trivially dead (i.e. fair game for deletion in many passes), leading to
stale dbg.values being in effect for too long.
- Call salvageDebugInfoOrMarkUndef. Not needed to make instruction removal
correct. OTOH results in wasted work in some common cases (e.g. when all
instructions in a BasicBlock are deleted).
This came up while discussing some basic cases in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D80052.

CodeGenPrepare::placeDebugValues moves variable location intrinsics to be
immediately after the Value they refer to. This makes tracking of locations
very easy; but it changes the order in which assignments appear to the
debugger, from the source programs order to the order in which the
optimised program computes values. This then leads to PR43986 and PR38754,
where variable locations that were in a conditional block are made
unconditional, which is highly misleading.
This patch adjusts placeDbgValues to only re-order variable location
intrinsics if they use a Value before it is defined, significantly reducing
the damage that it does. This is still not 100% safe, but the rest of
CodeGenPrepare needs polishing to correctly update debug info when
optimisations are performed to fully fix this.
This will probably break downstream debuginfo tests -- if the
instruction-stream position of variable location changes isn't the focus of
the test, an easy fix should be to manually apply placeDbgValues' behaviour
to the failing tests, moving dbg.value intrinsics next to SSA variable
definitions thus:
%foo = inst1
%bar = ...
%baz = ...
void call @llvm.dbg.value(metadata i32 %foo, ...
to
%foo = inst1
void call @llvm.dbg.value(metadata i32 %foo, ...
%bar = ...
%baz = ...
This should return your test to exercising whatever it was testing before.

This was arbitrarily appearing in only the last section emitted - which
made tests more sensitive than they needed to be (removing the last
section - like the macinfo section change that's coming after this)
would, surprisingly, move the blank line to the previous section.
The macinfo support was broken for LTO situations, by terminating
macinfo lists only once - multiple macinfo contributions were correctly
labeled, but they all continued/flowed into later contributions until
only one terminator appeared at the end of the section.
Correctly terminate each contribution & fix the parsing to handle this
situation too. The parsing fix is also necessary for dumping linked
binaries - the previous code would stop at the end of the first
contribution - missing all later contributions in a linked binary.
It'd be nice to improve the dumping to print the offsets of each
contribution so it'd be easier to know which CU AT_macro_info refers to
which macinfo contribution.
The column field is missing for all inline sites, currently it's always
zero. This changes populates DW_AT_call_column field for inline sites.
Test case modified to cover this change.

Summary:
This is a follow-up to D57510. This patch stops DebugHandlerBase from
changing the starting label for the first non-overlapping,
register-described parameter DBG_VALUEs to the beginning of the
function. That code did not consider what defined the registers, which
could result in the ranges for the debug values starting before their
defining instructions. We currently do not emit debug values for
constant values directly at the start of the function, so this code is
still useful for such values, but my intention is to remove the code
from DebugHandlerBase completely when we get there. One reason for
removing it is that the code violates the history map's ranges, which I
think can make it quite confusing when troubleshooting.
In D57510, PrologEpilogInserter was amended so that parameter DBG_VALUEs
now are kept at the start of the entry block, even after emission of
prologue code. That was done to reduce the degradation of debug
completeness from this patch. PR40638 is another example, where the
lexical-scope trimming that LDV does, in combination with scheduling,
results in instructions after the prologue being left without locations.
There might be other cases where the DBG_VALUEs are pushed further down,
for which the DebugHandlerBase code may be helpful, but as it now quite
often result in incorrect locations, even after the prologue, it seems
better to remove that code, and try to work our way up with accurate
locations.
In the long run we should maybe not aim to provide accurate locations
inside the prologue. Some single location descriptions, at least those
referring to stack values, generate inaccurate values inside the
epilogue, so we maybe should not aim to achieve accuracy for location
lists. However, it seems that we now emit line number programs that can
result in GDB and LLDB stopping inside the prologue when doing line
number stepping into functions. See PR40188 for more information.
A summary of some of the changed test cases is available in PR40188#c2.

This patch improves the placement of DBG_VALUEs when by SelectionDAG, which
as documented in PR40427 can go very wrong. At the core of this is
ProcessSourceNode, which assumes the last instruction in a BB is the start
of the last processed IR instruction, which isn't always true.
Instead, use a helper function to call InstrEmitter::EmitNode, that records
before-and-after iterators and determines the first of any new instruction
created during emission. This is passed to ProcessSourceNode, which can
then make more elightened decisions about ordering for DBG_VALUE placement.

llvm-svn: 350731
This is a fix for PR39896, where dbg.value's of SDNodes that have been
optimised out do not lead to "DBG_VALUE undef" instructions being created.
Such undef instructions are necessary to terminate earlier variable
ranges, otherwise variable values leak past the point where they're valid.
The "invalidated" flag of SDDbgValue is currently being abused to mean two
things:
* The corresponding SDNode is now invalid
* This SDDbgValue should not be emitted
Of which there are several legitimate combinations of meaning:
* The SDNode has been invalidated and we should emit "DBG_VALUE undef"
* The SDNode has been invalidated but the debug data was salvaged, don't
emit anything for this SDDbgValue
* This SDDbgValue has been emitted
This patch introduces distinct "Emitted" and "Invalidated" fields to the
SDDbgValue class, updates users accordingly, and generates "undef"
DBG_VALUEs for invalidated records. Awkwardly, there are circumstances
where we emit SDDbgValue's twice, specifically DebugInfo/X86/dbg-addr-dse.ll
which I've preserved.

Summary:
If the target does not support `.asciz` and `.ascii` directives, the
strings are represented as bytes and each byte is placed on the new line
as a separate byte directive `.b8 <data>`. NVPTX target allows to
represent the vector of the data of the same type as a vector, where
values are separated using `,` symbol: `.b8 <data1>,<data2>,...`. This
allows to reduce the size of the final PTX file. Ptxas tool includes ptx
files into the resulting binary object, so reducing the size of the PTX
file is important.

the previous behavior anyway.

Context: Compiler generated instructions do not have a debug location
assigned to them. However emitting 0-line records for all of them bloats
the line tables for very little benefit so we usually avoid doing that.
Not emitting anything will lead to the previous debug location getting
applied to the locationless instructions. This is not desirable for
block begin and after labels. Previously we would emit simply emit
line-0 records in this case, this patch changes the behavior to do a
forward search for a debug location in these cases before emitting a
line-0 record to further reduce line table bloat.

[DEBUG] Initial adaptation of NVPTX target for debug info emission.
Summary:
Patch adds initial emission of the debug info for NVPTX target.
Currently, only .file and .loc directives are emitted, everything else is
commented out to not break the compilation of Cuda.

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.
